4lbs 10oz.

We found out Monday night that LO is a big-o 4lbs 10oz.  I was having contractions all day so the doc had me go into L&D about 6:30pm.  They put me on an IV to get some fluids and ran some test.  He did a fibronectin test and it came back neg. so he was ok with sending me home.  We did get to so the LO in an ultrasound when he was finding out how much he weighs.  Only 6 weeks left.  I hope he stays in there a little while longer and gets a little bigger.  I would be ok with him gaining 2 more pounds.  Someone said they can double their weight from now until the end!!!  He would be over 9 pounds...  I am hoping that doesn't happen!!!  Does anyone else know how much thier LO is up too?  Or 2+ moms, do you remember how much your baby weighed around 34 weeks?

THe problem with the weight estimates is that they are notoriously off in either direction by up to a pound and a half. So fear not, it will likely all be just fine and your body will grow the perfect size baby for you.

My friend who was due Jan 17 just had her baby today! It was a total surprise, no prelabor symptoms or anything, had her first contraction at 7am and baby was here by noon. He weighed 5lbs 5oz

I have another growth scan on Friday, and am fully expecting to hear that baby is estimated at 4.5 lbs. I'm fine with that.

How are the mom and baby?

Both are doing good as far as I know! Her first was late and a big boy. I was kind of hoping we'd be in there at the same time! Just waiting to find out what they named him! Eta: She had a c-section scheduled for Jan 13th because her first caused damage to her back and constant pain ever since. I do believe this babe came naturally!

I had my growth ultrasound just a couple days short of 32 weeks and my lo was measuring at 3 lbs 9 oz. The doctor said he was falling into the 45 percentile.

I had a 35 week growth scan on Monday and they estimate that LO is 6 lbs 4 oz.

I tend to believe my weight estimates since they were spot on when my son was born. Yesterday, my little guy was estimated at 5 lb 4oz. He may be the size of a 2 year old when he comes out

At 34 weeks, during a routine ultrasound, we were told LO weighted 5lbs 11oz! And my Dr. said at my appointment Tuesday that it was a big baby!

I had a growth scan at 33 weeks and this baby was only 3 lbs. 2 oz. (4th percentile).  I hope that makes you feel better!

This!

With DD I had an ultrasound at 37 weeks and they guessed she was 8.5lbs. When she was born at 41 weeks she was 8.14, it was way off as you can see. GL

At my 35 week growth check they estimated my little guy to be 6lbs. 10 oz.
